* Includes presently exercisable options to purchase 66,668 shares of Common Stock. Percentage ownership is based on outstanding shares of 43,840,047 shares as reported in the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-259447) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2021, plus 66,668.

This Amendment No. 6 (the “Amendment No. 6”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) filed by Avon Road Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Avon”) and Robert A. Berman, a United States Citizen (“Mr. Berman”, and collectively with Avon, the “Reporting Persons”) on September 7, 2017, relating to the beneficial ownership of shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Rekor Systems, Inc. (the “Company”).

This Amendment No. 6 amends the Schedule13D, as previously amended, as specifically set forth herein.

ITEM 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended to add the following:

Effective with the filing of this Amendment No. 6, Rekor Holdings LLC is no longer a member of the Section 13(d) group and shall cease to be a Reporting Person immediately upon the filing of this Amendment No. 6. The remaining Reporting Persons will continue filing statements on Schedule 13D with respect to their beneficial ownership of securities of the Company to the extent required by applicable law and shall remain party to the Joint Filing Agreement, as previously described in Item 6 hereto.

ITEM 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5(c) is amended to add the following:

On September 15, 2021, Rekor Holdings LLC dissolved and distributed its assets in accordance with its organizational documents. As a result, Rekor Holdings LLC distributed 2,725,836 shares of Common Stock to its members, including Mr. Berman who received 849,999 shares of Common Stock. After the distribution, Rekor Holdings LLC owns no shares of Common Stock, or 0% of the Company’s Common Stock.

On September 15, 2021 Avon Road transferred as a gift 775,000 shares of Common Stock to a trust of which Avon Road is the beneficiary. The trustee of the trust is an unrelated party who has the sole power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock. The gift to the trust was made for investment purposes.

After the distribution and the gift, Mr. Berman beneficially owns 3,156,991 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 7.2% of the Company’s Common Stock, based on 43,840,047 shares of Common Stock, the current amount of outstanding shares as of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-259447) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 10, 2021.
